[Hook: Json]

Yes, I'm a artist

But I'm not just music

A voice on a record

Homie I'm a human

So let me let you in

Let you see the strain and the hurt

And the pain, yes it comes with the fame

But I am not just a artist


[Verse 1: Json]

Shout out to all the artists

If there's a truth to us

Hello to all the bloggers

How you doing reviewers?

You should know that we're human

And this voice that you listen

Is a husband and father

A brother, a Christian

The stage I've been given

It ain't gold cause it glitter

Know what it's like when people judge

Like they know you from Twitter

Or even Facebook

"J's a snake and a lie

He's just a fake

I hit him up

He ain't never reply"

I, I've been gone but not on vacation

And I get home, the wife here's got the baby waiting

My son he got a game

I've been booked for a show

This is our bread and butter

That means I gotta go

No, and I ain't asking for sympathy

I'm just asking for grace and prayer

Remember me

I'm some of what you hear

Portions of what you see

I know I'm a artist

But overall I'm me


[Hook: J-son]

Yes, I'm a artist

But I'm not just music

A voice on a record

Homie I'm a human

So let me let you in

Let you see the strain and the hurt

And the pain, yes it comes

With the fame

I'm not just an artist

No, I'm not just music

A voice on a record

We, we are not just what you

Hear on a CD

I am just me, I'm a human


[Verse 2: Lecrae]

You ain't really real no more

You don't be making music people really feel no more

You used to preach a whole sermon in your songs

Now you sounding kinda watered down

Man what's going on?

Homie I done matured

I have so many issues at heart

Thought that screaming it through

My art made me better, set me apart

If I never get to make another Rebel, it's cool

That was a season in my life, let it settle

And I'm in a new season

Growing as a man

I done been around the world

And started my own fam

I've see a lot of pain

I done been through it

Learned their characters more than

The things you know and what you do

Who you calling Illuminati?

Not me, got me?

Confused with someone who not me

And if my songs don't define me

Interviews are a piece

So you don't really know me

When you see me in the streets

I'm just human


[Hook: J-Son]

Yes, I'm a artist

But I'm not just music

A voice on a record

Homie I'm a human

So let me let you in

Let you see the strain and the hurt

And the pain, yes it comes

With the fame

I'm not just an artist

No, I'm not just music

A voice on a record

We, we are not just what you

Hear on a CD

I am just me, I'm a human


[Verse 3: J-son]

My ears stay to the streets

I hear and I listen

But it's good

We all entitled to our own opinions (true)

I embrace your critique

And I'm open to challenge

Let there be grace and truth so I can receive it with balance

I ain't angry or mad

Know the purpose for real

Is that you see me as a person

I hurt and I feel

You hit me up

I wish I could chop it and build with ya

If I'm honest with my life

This is not a real picture

So if we come off cocky or arrogant even, forgive us

We're falling people

Still growing in Jesus

The difference is when they like you and think you rhyme tight

When you fall they throw us all in lime light


[Hook]

Yes, I'm a artist

Let you see the strain and the hurt

And the pain, yes it comes

I'm not just an artist

No, I'm not just music

A voice on a record

We, we are not just what you

Hear on a CD

I am just me, I'm a human
